Funnily enough although Tesco's down in England proclaim on their hoarding that they are open 24 hours - they don't, Sunday they're only open from about 10.00 til 16.00!!!!

Was over in Kirkwall a while back; Tesco was packed as was next door Lidl, but next door at Co-op there were six shoppers in there.. why's that, is it an Orkney thing or something?

Well if its like the coop over here in Thurso then there will be two tills open at the most busy times compared to Tescos who will have every till open.

Its the difference between standing in a queue for 20 mins or 4 mins .

I also noticed another annoying habit in the coop where if a barcode wont scan then the till operator wanders away to find another one to try and scan ....again the queue for the two tills grows longer where as in tTescos a person is summoned to get the barcode to allow the till operator to carry on scanning.

People shop where they want, and like, to shop.

I wouldn't read too much into it.

Try shopping in the Wick CO-OP in the evenings.If you are lucky enough to find what you want then you have to join the usually large que at the cigarrette counter as no tills are open.If there are any other staff about they just stand and watch the que getting longer and longer.
Little wonder Tesco and Lidl get most of the trade in Wick

That's the law in England. Opening hours depend on square footage, hence corner shops could open 24 hrs a day 7 days a week 365 days a year if they so wished. Larger stores, the likes of Tesco's close at 10pm on a Saturday evening, Sunday is 10 to 4pm then it re-opens at 8 am on Monday morning right through to Saturday at 10pm.
